The video clips shown on TV hours after the bombing were discovered to have been footage from 1991. Between the time of the crash and the television of the footage, it was the middle of the night in the Middle East. > But of > COURSE its the Americans fault. Well you've got somewhat of a point there. Go around attacking everyone you feel like and you'll get hit back eventually. Like if you were to go to the bar and beat up little guys every night, eventually you'd get jumped in an alley. Whether anyone deserves to be hurt or killed, the answer is definitely no. And that's why starting a war would be the stupidest thing possible. > I suppose the world (Americans included) should > just shake their collective heads and say what a shame it is, and let terrorist > continue wrecking havok world wide every time they don't like the way their life > is going, hey, I'm not very happy today, maybe I should come over and set off > a bomb at your house to show the world how truely unhappy I am. Why should it > matter that you died when I am unhappy? Who should try and stop me? Well that all depends. Have you posted soldiers around that person's house for the last 20 years? And have you bombed their house and the houses of their neighbours? And do you refuse to give financial aid to their neighbourhood even though it was you who devastated it with war? The United States is not a neighbourhood. If it were, your house would look the same as the rich people's houses. > > What makes you so sure the Americans are looking to have a war, what utter > nonsense.

The point of your post is to JUSTIFY war! Man, what are you talking about? I read this whole fucking thing just to hear you back-pedal? I think you've been watching too much CNN. Your message is so convoluted that I doubt that even you understand what you are trying to say. Thanks for wasting my time with some extremely poorly thought-out and irrelevant nonsense.
